The great match of IPL 2024 is currently being played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Garden, Kolkata. In this match, Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and decided to bowl first. The host bowlers performed very well and Lucknow team could only score 161 runs after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs.

In reply, Shamar Joseph bowled his first over of the IPL for Lucknow Super Giants and gave 22 runs. This is the debut match of Shamar Joseph. Shamar Joseph bowled very well in the Test match against Australia in Brisbane and played an important role in the victory of the West Indies team. Many people had high expectations from this young fast bowler in IPL 2024 but he had a very poor start in this important tournament.

Shamar Joseph did not concede a single run on his first ball of IPL 2024. After this, on the second ball, Phil Salt opened his team’s account through leg bye. Sunil Narayan hit a four on the third ball of this over and then took two runs on the fourth ball. Sunil Narine took a run through leg bye on the fifth ball and gave strike back to Phil Salt. However, the young West Indies fast bowler then bowled a no ball on which Salt did not score even a single run. The next ball was wide.

Not only this, after this Joseph again bowled wide and even the wicketkeeper could not catch this ball and Lucknow got five runs for free. Shamar Joseph then bowled another no ball and Phil Salt hit a six on the free hit. A total of 22 runs were scored in this over of Shamar Joseph.
